Jack has had the reputation of running strong travel ball teams with his teams qualifying for post-season national competition from 1998-2015. He has been a coach and leader with the Minnesota Renegades (a premier softball organization) since 2006 and has developed strong relationships with college coaches not only in the Upper Midwest but across the country. This past year his Minnesota Renegades '98 team placed first in three National Qualifiers and came in 9th at PGF Premiere, perceived by many as the top national tournament in the country. Jack has coached players that will or have played for these schools; University of Minnesota, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Drake, Illinois, University of North Dakota, University of Minnesota-Duluth, Northern College, Minnesota State University, Mankato, St. Cloud State University, Saint Thomas, Gustavus Adolphus and more. Jack is the Co-Head Coach for the Orono Spartans, who have been to the High School State Tournament three of the past four years and have compiled a 78-26 record over that time.

Mike Carter has had 15+ years of coaching experience at the head coach level. Mike believes in a philosophy of creating a positive environment where players can learn and compete with respect for all aspects of the game while maintaining a competitive focus.

He is the current President of PWYSA and founder of the highly respected fastpitch organization the Minnesota Vortex and Minnesota A’s. Mike has a vast amount of experience running Summer Camps, Winter Clinics, Private Lessons, Coaches Clinics and has been a participant of the National Fastpitch Coaches College. Mike has coached in both the Minnesota High School All-Star Games and the Boarder Battle. Mike is the Co-Head Coach of the Orono Spartans and led them to the State Tournament 3 out of his 4 years as coach. With 78 wins in his 4 years, Mike is near the top of the record book in recent years. The Spartans accomplishments garnered Mike the 6AAA Minnesota High School Coach of the Year award for 3 years running.
